Lalor East Primary School prides itself on providing an excellent education to children across the Whittlesea municipality in Melbourne, Victoria.

Our philosophy is education of the whole child with an emphasis on developing students who are literate, numerate and curious. Lalor East Primary School values include: Respect, Cooperation, Caring, Honesty and Personal Best.

Our attractive environment has been enhanced by the addition of a magnificent multipurpose centre where Music, Physical Education and community events are held weekly. We have extensive play equipment areas for the students
as well as a full size oval, indoor and outdoor basketball courts and quiet areas.

We value the partnership between parents, students, teachers and the wider community.

We were fortunate to have Wurundjeri tribal elder Ron Jones come to our school on Monday 4 March 2013 to perform our ‘Welcome to Country’ Ceremony.The Welcome to Country Ceremony demonstrates respect for Koorie people and acknowledges the spiritual, physical and cultural connection their ancestors have with their ‘country’ as the first people of the land now known as Victoria.

During the ceremony Ron explained the importance of the land to the Koorie people. He presented our School Captains and Vice Captains, Billy, Yasmine, Randy and Suzana with some gum leaves to signify the link to the land and the importance of looking after the land on which we live.

Our school leaders will continue to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land at our Monday assembly.We hope you enjoy the photos from the ceremony with Ron, our Koorie students, members of their family, our KESOs (Thelma and Michael) and our school leaders.

Friday 9 November was a very special day for the Lalor East community as it was the day we premiered ‘Cyber Safety – The Movie’.
During term 3 a small group of talented Grade 5 and 6 students worked with Kristian Carrocci and Brad Jones to write the script,
film and edit a short movie to help encourage students and adults to be Cyber Smart. Over 100 parents, students and teachers
attended the special red carpet movie premiere in the Multipurpose Centre. Everyone loved the movie!

We are very proud of the efforts of our budding film makers and have now uploaded the film to YouTube so others can enjoy
the movie and also learn some valuable life lessons about how to stay safe while online. Please follow the link to view the movie.
